OFFICIAL COMMENT

This section provides automatic licensing under Article 3, Part 5 [Section 5-3-501 et seq.] for all lenders previously licensed under the State's licensed lender statutes prior to the effective date. No application or administrative action is required and the formal license under the prior statute, which will be repealed, will be a license under Part 5 of Article 3. The Administrator, at such time as his new duties under the Code permit him an opportunity, may substitute new licenses for those in the lenders' possession, but this is entirely a ministerial act.
